Ok with my new Blitz boost controller at 0.7 Bar when I go third gear, full throttle, at 3,500rpm it seems to stop and hesitate as though the engine shuts off for a split second then turns back on!

Also does this in 4th and 5th at around 3,500rpm as well, doesn't seem to do it in 1st and 2nd.

What's the go there? I've taken the front mount off, but when I had front mount I was running 13psi which works out to be nearly 0.9 Bar with no problems.

Mods at the moment are full turbo back exhaust, that's it.

I have standard air box, but don't have the snorkel.... would that be the problem?

I had this problem before, (admit it, its prety generic though) but mine was electrical. When the car went in for a service, my guy put come non-conductive gel stuff on the plug ends and leads as they come up from the head. Fixed the problem, seemed to be because the spark was jumping out of one of the tubes into the head. Pretty random.

how old are your spark plugs ...... check them out .. coz the problem sounds similar to what had go on b4 my fmic .......sparkplugs have random lifespans.. so they could be shot ......

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
